Introducing Val O'Hara of the Cirque du Dash
While we continue to work on some upcoming announcements behind the scenes, we'd like to add a little colour to the DashCon 2 universe! Some of you may have heard of their ringleader, but we're happy to introduce you to more of our mascots, the Cirque du Dash! (We’re Canadians, we have to throw in a little French once in a while.)
Given the ball pit and the chaotic nature of “DashCon 2” as an idea, we thought we’d theme the convention aesthetics around a circus. We want DashCon 2 to have some of its own personality - riding exclusively on the legacy of DashCon just won’t do. We'll be announcing the last two blorbos throughout the month, along with some more content that'll really let you get to know them better! As always, all art is by @paintbrushinacoffeecup
In the meantime, can we offer you a personality quiz to tell you which clown you're most like! Find that right here.
So, without further ado, here is Cirque du Dash’s very own strongwoman: Val O'Hara!

She stands on a blue background next to the following text: Val O’Hara is a mixed Killer and Carnival Clown, taking on traits of both with her outspoken personality and questionable use of the hammer! She’s energetic, intelligent, and wanted in 32 U.S. states. Due to The Incident, her troupe has taken up residence here in the GTA for the foreseeable future. Despite widespread misinformation about Killer Clowns, she’s actually very compassionate to people who don’t work at Papa John’s.

Introducing Mel Encholy of the Cirque du Dash
Thank you to everyone who responded to our last survey asking for volunteers! We've gotten a ton of amazing applications, and we'll be reaching out soon.
Just in time for spooky month, we're happy to introduce to you to the spookiest member of the Cirque du Dash! Mel Encholy is the troupe's contortionist, and we hope you'll love them as much as we do!

They stand on a blue background next to the following text: Mel Encholy (Any Pronouns | Contortionist) We really don’t know much about Mel’s heritage, they just sort of showed up on the circus’ doorstep and has stuck around ever since. When she’s not moonlighting as your local cryptid, Mel can be found in deep Wikipedia rabbit holes or the corners of your vision after one too many Benadryl. He’s an artistic soul, and his passion can drive him to great (dubiously ethical) lengths in the name of creative freedom. But at the end of the day, Mel always enjoys a nice sharpie bath to decompress.
